Painkiller: Recurring Evil is an add-on
featuring 5 new levels with about 4000 enemies. It was released
digitally on February 29, 2012 by Nordic Games GmbH via Steam, and
developed by Med-Art and Eggtooth.

It continues the story of
Resurrection and serves as a side story for Redemption. Bill Sherman
becomes the ruler of Purgatory, blessed with power of the Sword of
Seraphim. However, the fallen angel Samael (now wingless after his
defeat at the hands of Belial in Overdose), who took the power of Hell
from Eve, steals Bill's sword and sends him to Purgatory's unexplored
locations, forcing the fight to start again. Bill reaches Samael in the
end of his journey, but game ends without a fight, as the fallen angel
defeats Bill. Depending on difficulty, Bill is either killed by
Samael, or rescued by Belial.
